Monday Science, Fukushima Update

We got about 4″ of snow and more coming, so everything is closed. I have Trouble assisting me on this post, as we try to keep from waking anybody else up. Trouble thinks he’s a parrot and is roosting on my shoulder.

And that Hot Water is getting hotter. 40000% increase over the last month. Read the comments, there’s good information there. The point about the radiation form the tanks is very valid, as the amount of beta emitters increases, the amount of Xrays given off by the tank itself increase. Those tanks may become unsafe to approach at all, as it is they limit close exposure to just long enough to inspect. And those are quick inspections.

Sorry for the short post today, I slept in with the snow day and just ran out of time!
